Wow! When I reflect
on my health and fitness journey I realized I’ve come a long way. Many of the beliefs I held about health and
fitness a few years back have changed drastically and thankfully for the
better. Bye-bye to my cute little
five-pound weights (It was hard to say goodbye), happily replaced by
kettlebells and barbells (well not all that hard) and gone are the days when
cardio ruled my world.
One of the biggest changes I made over the years was with my
nutrition. It was a slow process and it
wasn’t always easy, but it was definitely worth it. There was a time when I wasn’t so educated
about food and our food industry that I would say that my diet was what I would
now consider to be sub-par. I had no
idea what “whole foods” were. My typical
breakfast would consist of a chicken biscuit with a big glass of OJ. I can’t believe I ate like that! No wonder I was crashing and burning by mid
morning.
Now I know better so I do better. I know that what I put in my mouth directly
reflects on my health and how I look and feel.
So I eat more whole foods. Whole
foods are foods that are in their most natural state or minimally processed,
i.e. fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds, legumes, whole grains, lean
meats and fish.
For the month of April, we will focus on eating whole
foods. Click the link to checkout our Registered and

of the day and provides guidance on
what to eat to get your day off to a great start.
Go ahead, eat the whole thing!
